Treasure the little things in life.

I took loads of pictures at the event. Can't resist because there were so many wonderful and colourful characters. Loved the ones with the colourful wigs.

The cosplayers really put in a lot of effort in their costumes and I truly admire them.

I was playing dress up as Ai Enma (閻魔 あい) of Jigoku Shoujo or better known as Hellgirl.

May not look completely like her as my look was simplified and not enough props.

I'm missing the blood red eyes, tiered long hair and eye enhancements in my make up.

Just made do with what I have.

So here you go, this is my interpretation of her.

What inspired me to dress this way.

Well, I was suppose to sing this song, KARINUI for the anime singing competition but only found out about the competition 2 days before and there seems to be an overwhelming response. I went there by 12pm to register anyway but ended up not singing cause the registered contestants was like 30 already!!!!

This was my outfit to compliment the song.

But anyway, I was there also there to catchup with some friends.

Forat and Jasmine Minori. One is a powerful and well known singer in the anime world and the other is a handsome professional photographer.

I was lucky to be able to witness Jasmine Minori's performance and she set the stage on fire! Forat on the other hand did a photoshoot for me in my costume. The below photo was taken by Forat. Thank you for the amazing work.

This was one of my favourite costume. It's a lot of hardwork putting this piece together.

Check out his wings. I think it's all DIY.

Check out the other colourful costumes I spotted at the event. So pandai posing.

Love the hair girls.

And I was just trying to "blend in"

This guy with the cute peace pose is a cosplayer from Taiwan. And another version of Narukami Yu spotted (in grey hair)

Cute couple or they look more like siblings.

Loved her overall image and outfit! She reminds me of the lead actress in Brave.

Damsel in distress posing with Death. I must salute this guy playing Death. He creepily sneaks up on you and is soul quietly drifts among the crowd not making a single sound. He certainly lifts up to his character.

Love the cutesy pose above and Naruto was spotted among the cosplayers.

Look at their amazing play of colours. Characters in any possible hair colour you can imagine. Thanks for posing for my camera.

Another cosplayer in action. I'm not good in identifying who is representing what character.

Recognize any of these characters?

Love her extensive look.

Cosplayers were also given a chance to show off their outfit on stage for a cosplay competition. This was my favourite. Such charisma and stage presence.

Cleopatra Lookalike?

More interesting costumes sighted. This one looks MJ inspired.

One of the contestant for the singing competition taking centre stage.

Forat usually shoot models in Cosplay gear. Now it's my turn to snap his picture.

Bin Yun entertaining us with her high pitched vocals. She can really hit those high notes.

The recipe is currently with the fifth (5th) generation member of the family, Dr. Enrico Barbera. He decided to internationalize his family’s coffee brand by starting the coffee chain across the globe.The ConceptThe unique concept of Café Barbera is based on an exceptional blend of coffee products, current food trends, and consumer demands for fresher, tastier, lighter and healthier fare.
